It sounds like an oxymoron, or at least an impossibility, doesn't it? How can a static language that's really more like markup than programming be object-oriented? In this tutorial, I'm going to introduce you to the idea of object-oriented CSS, show you how it works, and try to convince you that you should be using it too!

In this round-up we'll be looking at 5 JavaScript libraries that can really ease the development of modern, attractive web sites. The libraries that we'll be looking at aren't libraries in the same sense as something like jQuery or the YUI; they're much smaller and much more specialized. But they're the best at what they do and provide unique functionality.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to build a flexible, animatable tagcloud using an Object Oriented Programming approach. I don't believe in a right or wrong method, but rather several degrees of efficiency. If you have any constructive criticism on my code feel free to comment.
That said, lets start!

In the last three years our Envato Marketplaces (FlashDen, ThemeForest, GraphicRiver, AudioJungle and VideoHive) have grown like gangbusters, with big communities, huge libraries of files and lots of activity. So when we set out to redesign them earlier this year everyone on the team knew it was going to be big. What we didn't realise was HOW big it would eventually get! Today it gives me great pleasure to show you ...

In this week's screencast, we'll learn how to implement quick and dirty filtering without a database. By applying some classes and a touch of jQuery, we can implement a nice little system very quickly.

In this tutorial, we are going to be creating a user signup form that adds a user to a database, and then sends out a confirmation email that the user must click on before their account will be activated.

Welcome back to AS3 101, the fifth edition! At this point, you should be comfortable with the concepts of variables, functions, conditionals (branching), and Arrays. Not only should you be comfortable with the concepts, but you should also be fluent in how ActionScript 3 implements these concepts.
For this fifth episode, we'll be adding to that catalog of skills the various looping structures found in AS3. You'll find some dependencies on the information learned in AS3 101 Part 4, on Arrays, so if you've skipped that one or need a refresher, please review that tutorial before continuing with this one.
For our final project, we'll combine loops and arrays, to make a simple shoot-em-up game.
